    We have been discussing and -------- this for the last couple of days on the thread called "Arepachi or arepricy". Sometimes you just have to wonder..

    Christmas is here but I do not think even Jax would want that at that price. Of course he could buy it and send it to me.

    I think someone should hook this seller up with the guy that sells pachinko balls for over $1 each on Ebay (and gets away with it).

    I really, really want an Arapechi, but, seriously, I'm not offering this guy a penny over $27,000 (I need the rest to buy a handful of balls).

    Am I wrong to assume this but DavidC claims he bought this machine "brand new" in 1976 from Pachinko Palace.

    Has'nt even this machine been played in a Parlor for a minimum of a year before imported by Pachinko Palace? It's also possible that it was refurbished by PP.

    I think this is a false statement at any price. Can anyone confirm this?

    No matter what since most Pachinko collectors are members here, or at the very least, read our threads IMHO. This is almost an insult to us. To each his own.

    You are entirely right. If you look at some of the pictures that he sent me, I have a total of eleven, their are some damaged spots inside the machine. If you would like to see all eleven pictures I could email them to you.

    I did have a look at his album. He joins our forum and the arepachi club yet he wants to sell his machine at a rediculous price. That sounds a little twisted to me. Its almost bragging about what you have knowing you cant sell it

    He should be selling it with Christies or Sothebys. Maybe even go on Antiques Roadshow or even display it at the Simthsonian if your serious. Not CL.

    I mentioned to him as well about the fact that we here are really the only ones in this country that even know what pachinkos are (any enthusiast would know about this forum), much less an arepachi. It's like being clueless about the value of something and then discounting the advice of the people most in the know, such as Eddie. Also, I don't know where the idea of multiplying something's original value by 100 comes from. Is that an arbitrary amount or is that standard as far as collecting goes? Dunno. But IMO the huge thing he is missing is demand-that's what ultimately sets value and not what he thinks it's worth. I suggested in an email to him that he get it professionally appraised and then let us know. That way we could all have a benchmark for appraising our own machines.

    No doubt he didn't sell it for that price!
    What I meant to say was, I wonder if he woke up and smelled the Fruity Pebbles and sold it at a reasonable price, like, say, $300 or so?
    I'd really like one, and I don't know what I should expect to pay, but that sounds about right to me.

    I had sent him an inquiry some time ago, asking if he'd consider shipping to the West Coast and pointing out, "BTW, you missed the decimal point after the 4."

    Man, that really seemed to piss him off. Rude reply. I honestly thought he had missed that. Oops.

    Anyway, if he found the right buyer (let's see... Bill Gates suddenly becomes a Pachinko fan, really, really wants an Aripachi, and is surfing online while on crack and runs across that listing), there's hope for us all. We'll be rich! Bwa-ha-ha...

    It's hard to say what a reasonable price is with pachinkos since we here have paid a wide variety of prices for identical machines. Prolly due to the fact that the machines are relatively unknown to the average person. Anyway I have seen Arepachis for 65 dollars (which is what I paid for my second one) on up. If you come across one on CList obviously
    snag it. If one comes up on eBay
    I predict it will go for a large sum
    since plenty of people on here will be bidding ( no doubt early on and throughout the auction, driving the price higher).


    will be bidding.

    I'll definitely be bidding too, should one pop up on Ebay.
    Will I bid in the tens of thousands? Um... that would be a rhetorical question.
